Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: I ask Ms Downes to come back to me, particularly with the regard to the tenant support scheme and the number of complaints because I have concerns about individuals from whom none of us have ever heard but who have made an application for access to their €15,000. From where I am sitting, that money is theirs to spend. I accept what Ms Downes said about repairs and items for which a...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: I am a new enough member of this committee but I have to say that with all the other witnesses who have come before us, when questions were asked we got detailed answers. I have not found that today. There has been a lot of the witnesses saying that they will come back to us or that they do not have information to hand, not just in response to my contribution but to those of others as well....

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: I thank Ms Hynes for that but neither question was answered. While I know the legislation will come before the Houses in the new year, does she have a specific timeframe, perhaps to the nearest month? I am conscious that Caranua probably will not exist after 24 March. I think that is the date. On the issue of the data on the website, that is great, and I can look for those data after...

Public Accounts Committee: Caranua: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: That is fine if it is not available. I just thought it would be a good question to ask because it would give us as a committee a timeframe to work to. I will source the data myself.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: I have raised Standing Order 218 previously and I said that the issue would become more prevalent and it has, unfortunately. I am a new member of the committee and at the initial meeting, we were greeted with the new Standing Order 218. From my understanding of the committee prior to joining it, the Standing Order has put the kibosh on our ability to question witnesses or certainly put...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: As a member of the committee, I take exception to what the Chairman said about him as Chairman and other committees not having to jostle over certain issues. I think the Committee of Public Accounts does trump a number of committees. They may decide they want to discuss certain issues with certain witnesses but from the point of view of public accountability, we should have the privilege of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: That is fine. We can still invite them in.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: I agree with Deputy Colm Burke and getting feedback from the parties and from the Oireachtas committee chairpersons would be important. It probably has more of an impact on the Committee of Public Accounts than any other committee but it would be important to tease out the discussions the Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts has had with other committee chairs. Is there a weekly...

Cormac Devlin: It will change the dynamic of this committee.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: On that, my understanding is that members of this committee who are also members of the CPP may not be able to sit in on the discussion at the CPP. I await clarification of that but that is my understanding. I made it clear on my appointment to the CPP that I was a member of the Committee of Public Accounts. I do not know who else is in that position. If that is the case, it changes the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)

Cormac Devlin: If I am the only member who is a member of both committees, I will be happy to clarify the matter myself. I was not a full-time member of the Committee on Procedure. I was standing in for somebody else at the time this arose. There will be many members who will be members of both committees at times. The issue around Standing Order 218 needs to be resolved for this committee in particular.
